What is being bought
Chemsex pilot.
Chemsex has recently been described as a public health crisis.
The substances involved in chemsex can be more powerful and addictive than others used recreationally, and there are significant associated risks posed to health, wellbeing, and safety. Individuals engaging in chemsex often require multidisciplinary approaches to support.
Based on the limited information on this issue further data is needed to build evidence for chemsex need in Salford, to improve monitoring and reporting, inform a long-term approach to addressing harms and prevention efforts, and minimise the risk of further harm or mortality linked to chemsex.
